Give me three very good players over one great player all day. I would not want my team to be dependent on the success of one player rather than three. Players can easily get hurt, players can easily go through downstreaks in form. It is also much easier to neutralize one player than it is do the same for three. Just look at Messi at Barcelona. Messi is the best player in the world, yet even he can be neutralized as Chelsea did last season, and when that happens, Barca has been left neutered.

Their team wouldn't be dependent on one player. They also have Bale, Adebayor, Sandro etc. With Modric they're a very good team with one of the best centre midfielders in the world. Without him, they're just a very good team.

If you have a team full of good players, you're never going to be anything more than good. If you really want to achieve something, you NEED to have some elite players in there as well.

The Messi/Barca comparison still stands. Barca has the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Alves, Pique, Villa, etc. etc. That doesn't mean they aren't disproportionally reliant on Messi to score the goals. I am not saying Tottenham would be disproportionally reliant on Modric, but I would rather have three very good players than just Modric in that situation.
